This happened last time at a bookstore

>Buy crime and punishment, sherlock holmes novels, siddharta, tale of genji, epic of gilgamesh and shakespeare sonnets and have em all piled on the counter for the qt cashier to scan and comment on
>some jonathan franzen looking dude behind me looks at the stack and goes "What a stack of classics! Not just dead white men either!

It didnt trigger me but now in retrospect i really dislike that whole meme of disregarding the god tier classics based on the gender and ethnicity of the author. If yo uare that guy though and recognize this story, don't feel bad it just threw me that's all
